Jewish Values

Is Jewish Day School Worth It?

Rise & Shine | 1 47:54

We plan their activities, their schools, even their college lists. But how much thought do we give to their Jewish identity?

For Miriam Belsky, that question is deeply personal. Her grandfather survived the Holocaust after his parents sent him to safety on the Kindertransport. His story still shapes how she raises her three children today.

On this week’s episode, Miriam joins Adrienne to explore why Jewish education matters now more than ever. They discuss how to raise children who feel connected to their Judaism, the importance of a strong Jewish identity in the face of antisemitism, and how families can navigate the financial challenges of Jewish education.
